[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8791852, member: 587645"] Getting loud with passives is a bit difficult. The easiest way to get louder is to go active and or raise your high pass crossover points. Going to a beefier set of speakers would accomplish your goals most likely. I was feeding my Hertz MLK 1650.3 set about 70w into the passive crossovers and they were plenty loud. I switched to active and raised the tweeter crossover by about 500hz, high passed the mids at 100hz instead of 80, and fed the mids about 60w and the tweeters about 20w they were much better sounding and louder. Now I'm running 3 way and the same tweeters are hilariously loud when playing from 5k and up on something like 25w. Matt [/QUOTE]
